In styles - London

I just arrived back from London and still feel like it was all a dream. Nothing seemed to change from when I left a few months ago. As usual, time flew by so quickly as I was running around working and catching up with friends. It was wonderful to be back and especially this time of the year when the season is starting to change. London is one of my favourite cities when it comes to Fall fashion. Shops are stocked with the latest collections whilst Londoners bring out their best Fall wardrobe of furs, boots, oversized scarves and hats. The trend I see this year is a bit of everything but the main stand out is and has always been black. When one think of London, black always come to mind as it is the signature colour at this time of the year. During my stay, I had the pleasure of meeting some of the most diverse group of beautifully stylish people that together with the cultural energy and architectural beauty of London, makes it one of the most fashionable cities in the world.

London is a place where one can freely express themselves through fashion, music, and art. The city thrives on individuality and creativity as some of the most influential designers started their careers here. There are inspirations everywhere and in many ways, unexpected yet wonderful places. Similar to any big city, some might say London is a bit overwhelming but to me, it is where some of the most memorable inspirations came from. Whether through art, music, fashion, or more importantly, friends I made over the years, there will always be a special place in my heart for the city I once called home.
